lyrics

Fitness is slipping, I'm losing all my mittens
At the park -- the park of the swordplay games
Who you've been kissing?
Playing with their kittens
Open my heart -- and pour it all out

I will sometimes tick you off
But I'll always pick you up
And if I should take your glass
I will drink from the other side

Business is slipping, credit cards are flipping
It's so hard -- playing these old board games
Sure as I'm sittin', trousers barely fittin'
Don't laugh
I'm feeling ashamed
It took me years to tell I wasn't feeling so well
And there's no one to blame
Fitness is slipping, I'm losing all my mittens
At the park -- the park of the swordplay games

I will sometimes tick you off
But I'll always pick you up
And if I should take your glass
I will drink from the other side

This song is over
But you don't believe me
If no one's leaving, I'll start from the beginning

Fitness is slipping, I'm losing all my mittens
At the park -- the park of the swordplay games
